The Matriarchy of Kerlile is a titanic, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Rebecca Arnott with an iron fist, and notable for its ubiquitous missile silos, sprawling nuclear power plants, and punitive income tax rates. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 17.999 billion Kerlians are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

The large, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Grapevale. The average income tax rate is 71.9%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Kerlian economy, worth a remarkable 1,914 trillion credits a year, is fairly diversified and dominated by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Retail, Door-to-door Insurance Sales, and Tourism. Black market activity is extensive. Average income is an impressive 106,360 credits, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

All you have to do is pray to get into Kerlile, the Super-Spud Cinematic Universe is breaking box office records, state media insists that Rebecca Arnott is the most fashionable leader in International Democratic Union, and courses in how to boil water are popular for formerly microwave-reliant Kerlians. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Kerlile's national animal is the black widow, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Singularist Secadualism.

Kerlile is ranked 235,261st in the world and 38th in International Democratic Union for Largest Trout Fishing Sector, scoring -4.38 on the Nemo Depletion Efficiency Index.
